The Impact Factor measures the average number of citations received in a particular year by papers published in the journal during the two preceding years. 2017 Journal Citation Reports (Clarivate Analytics, 2018) IF: 1.2 To calculate the five year Impact Factor, citations are counted in 2017 to the previous five years and divided by the source items published in the previous five years. 2017 Journal Citation Reports (Clarivate Analytics, 2018) 5-Year IF: 1.4 The Immediacy Index is the average number of times an article is cited in the year it is published. The journal Immediacy Index indicates how quickly articles in a journal are cited. Immediacy Index: 0.3 The Eigenfactor score, developed by Jevin West and Carl Bergstrom at the University of Washington, is a rating of the total importance of a scientific journal. Journals are rated according to the number of incoming citations, with citations from highly ranked journals weighted to make a larger contribution to the eigenfactor than those from poorly ranked journals. Eigenfactor: 0.00066 The Journal Citation Indicator (JCI) is a single measurement of the field-normalized citation impact of journals in the Web of Science Core Collection across disciplines. The key words here are that the metric is normalized and cross-disciplinary. JCI: 0.34 SJR: 0.274 SNIP: 0.41 CiteScore™:: 2.8 H-Index: 37

RÉSUMÉ

Currently several hundred species of plants, fungi, invertebrates, and mammals are harvested or hunted annually from America’s public forests for either commercial, traditional, or personal use. Regulation is irregular, and many nontimber forest products (NTFPs) change hands as a cash commodity, on a per-pound or per-unit basis.
Valued on a per-acre basis, NTFP production equals or frequently far exceeds the value of the harvested timber, when calculated on a 100-year cutting cycle. Longer timber harvest cycles favor increased NTFP production in many cases, as do land treatments such as selection logging or strip logging over clear-cut logging.
From a socioeconomic perspective, the trade in wild mushrooms is a multimillion-dollar industry that provides a large number of jobs per pound of commodity. These seasonal jobs are created in poor, rural, and remote communities in which economic development projects typically flounder. The perishable nature of the fungi makes it a cash commodity, and this in turn attracts mushroom pickers who are often young, mobile, and economically disadvantaged.
NTFP development has been stymied for years by Forest Service accounting procedures which return all income from permit fees, etc., to the timber fund, which then allocates (or not) money for administering a commercial morel harvest or issuing salal or beargrass harvesting permits. This procedure has effectively stunted any meaningful management of these resources.
A realistic use of our forest resources requires first that these resources be identified. One of the challenges to using NTFRs is identifying the resource, whether it is (or is not) a foodstuff or medicine, or if it can be employed for some commercial purpose or for environmental remediation. This presentation will examine several species of fungi found in the intermountain west and the Pacific Northwest and address their current use and potential for economic or ecological development.
The following species and their potential or current use will be addressed: (1) Commercial food species: Morchella sp., Tricholoma magnivelare (Peck) Redhead, Cantharellus sp., Boletus edulis Bull.:Fr. group, Pleurotus sp.; (2) species with potential as commercial foodstuffs: Russula xerampelina (Schaeff.:Secr.)Fr. group, Rozites caperata (Pers.: Fr.) P.Karst., Naematoloma (Hypholoma) capnoides (Fr.:Fr.) P.Kumm., Lyophyllum decastes (Fr.) Singer group, Coprinus comatus (Mull.:Fr.) S.F.Gray, Calvatia sp.; (3) species with potential as food/ commercial products: temper using Coprinus, Lyophyllum decastes, etc.; biopulp3delignifying wood using fungi instead of chemicals: specie of genera Cerisporiopsis, Phlebia, and Hypodontia, brown cuboidal rot3water storage/retrieval; (4) restoration and remediation using species: Pleurotus sp. in riparian areas, Lyophyllum decastes against knapweed infestations.
All the above species will be pictured and aspects of habitat and conditions discussed.
